| Name the three histological types of muscle | Skeletal, Cardiac, and Smooth |
| Skeletal muscle consists of long threadlike cells called ? | Muscle fibers |
| Skeletal muscle is described as ? | Striated and voluntary |
| Alternating light and dark bands are called ? | Striations |
| Name two types of striated muscle | Skeletal and Cardiac |
| Intercalated discs are found in this type of muscle | Cardiac |
| Voluntary muscle | Skeletal |
| Involuntary muscle | Cardiac and Smooth |
| Cardiac muscle is only found in the ? | Heart |
| Shorter, branched cells, commonly called myocytes or cardiocytes | Cardiac |
| Provide both electrical and mechanical connection between cells | Intercalated discs |
| Cells lack striations | Smooth muscle |
| Cells contain multiple nuclei | Skeletal |
| Cells are fusiform ( thick in the middle and tapered at the ends) | Smooth muscle |
| Muscle type that moves our joints | Skeletal |
| Muscle type of the digestive, respiratory, and urinary tracts, blood vessels, uterus, and other viscera | Smooth |
| The cells are excitable and can contract | Skeletal, Cardiac, and Smooth |
